Byte — After hearing the devastating news that a capture the flag map was going to be in the upcoming ETF2L Season 18 league map pool, VanillaTV just had to wake up and smell the death? or breathe of fresh air for TF2- with this map being brought in. Not only that but a cup for those wanting to understand how this map works…

It’s no piece of cake, it requires a great caller who will need to adapt his team and make them understand how “the best offence is the best defence”. Having said that, the group stages have already been played and here are teams still left fighting it out for 1st prize – Tt eSPORTS Pyrrhus Mousepad

Quarter final

The last place for the quarter final spot was decided yesterday evening between the 3 teams LIETUVA / Corgi / SAFARI. With corgi getting the better of the other teams winning the Golden cap. Here’s how the fixture looks going into the quarter finals:

For more of an incentive to strive and get as far as possible in this cup, Arie has generously donated 30 keys with the prize distrubtion as follows:

Arie — This weekend, the second edition of the Tip of the Hats livestream event takes place. Last year, $35000 (€25000 in real money) was raised in just 36 hours. This year things might get crazier still, with over $15000 worth of items (as of today) to be raffled off: last year for every $1 in prizes, $7 was donated.

Over the two days of streaming you’ll get to see nearly every aspect of TF2: pub, highlander, 6v6, ultiduo, MGE, surfing, jumping and crate unboxing simulator 2k7. At the same time you get to enter continuous raffles for prizes, and there’s some really interesting ones. Like the chance to win every craft and promotion hat in the game, or the contents of 200 crates.

I was going to paste a Eurofied time schedule of the event here, but since daylight savings time ends in Europe this weekend my brain broke trying to convert the timezones. So take a look at the official schedule here and figure it out for yourself, or trust my time conversion skills.

Just Play! and TragicServers.com are pleased to announce our first-ever European TF2 Ultiduo Tournament! This tournament is being held to announce the grand opening of Just Play’s European MGE location connect eu-mge.justplay.tf:27015

huhy — We’ve just announced an exciting new eight team invite tournament happening this Sunday.

The spectacular finale of TeamFortress.TV’s first ZOWIE Invitational proved to be a foretelling of the future. It was to give us our first glimpse of Classic Mixup playing to their full potential against an iT roster that was undefeated at the time. These were performances that would be emulated again in Dallas and it is with ESEA’s Season 15 LAN Finals still fresh in our memory that TeamFortress.TV are proud to present to you a second competition of the highest standard in partnership with ZOWIE Gear.

The dust has settled on the the battlefields of North America… for now. It’s as quiet as a backcap out there. In darkened rooms the shadowy figures of the invite illuminati plot each other’s demise, bargaining with the gods of Team Fortress 2 for future riches and glory. Across the Atlantic Ocean a new dawn is breaking upon European soil where the throne lays empty. It is there that our story continues…

Jon — Tonight we see a double-bill with coverage of itsallgood fighting against SNSD on Barnblitz back-to-back with DAROUTOUTOU against SNSD again on Badwater. Who will win? No-one knows. Tune in to find out!
